How did he get 71% of lightning dmg in his weapon ?

I want to know also...I dont see it being able to roll on the poe affix page. but im fairly new to the game so i could be wrong.

How do the curses work here? If the build has 2 curses, but no additional curses on armor pieces, will it work well?

You usually only apply elemental weakness while mapping.

But when you get hit big enough to activate CWDT, then nearby enemy get cursed by warlord's mark, allowing you to fast regen.

I have had the most success with Storm Brand so far and am on the heels of Uber Shaper and Elder. I just finished my first T15 map ever! So I wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting this together and answering a good number of the comments. All put together this has helped me out quite a bit.

I wouldn't mind some input on how to improve my gearing. I have about 3 Ex to spend:

Why are there different clothes on the guide?

Looks decent enough, and here are my suggestions:

- You're missing lightning penetration on the helm. You can easily craft this with a Metallic fossil (combine with other fossils for more life etc)

- Do you need a Berek's ring? you've already got life leach on your amulet, so this could be used for more Lightening damage, life and resists if you need them.

- Your life rolls are low

- I cant see any cold damage to spells, so Hypothermia wont be triggered

- Mana rolls are low or non existent on a few items making MOM less relevant

Hope that helps?

Finally tried and killed Uber Elder with this build. It feels much too easy with Storm Brand. Not only are you very tanky, you are also very mobile. It kinda sucks that GGG seems to prefer "auto-attack" builds like this (and mines, totems...) more and more while self-Cast and melee feel like hard-mode.

That being said: thanks for the build, it was a fun ride!

Corrupted my chest again, and this time it didn't brick, but this almost feels worse.... Got excited when I saw I had two +2 rolls!



Got a slight upgrade to my gloves though



Been mainly working on getting my delves down to a respectible level, but not played much.
Might finish that off, attempt uber, and maybe re-roll for something with a bit more stupid single target damage (Full glass cannon hyrri's ire scourge arrow raider maybe)

Any reason to use Carcass over Loreweave on boss fights?
I got both of em 6L but i am having a hard time weighting the pros n cons.
I am also assuming that Inpulsa is better than both at clear speed but worse than both on boss fights, correct?

Loreweave has potentially the same damage roll as carcass (Though it's a wider range so probably easier and cheaper to get a 50% carcass).
That doesn't actually make that much difference in real dps though. And AOE isn't important for the boss fight. So Loreweave is much preferred, unless it's a purely physical boss.

Inpulsa is better single target damage than either, as well as the extra clear speed. No worse defensively than Carcass really (lose some evasion, that's all) but obviously worse than loreweave.

LOVE this build, 159/159 here, 2 deaths on Chimera and 2 on shaper, rest was easy. Just flies thru T15 maps. I have an Inquisitor trying to run S/brand but for some reason it's nowhere near as smooth as this. I might abandon that char. Thanks OP!!

Warlord's mark IS proccing, I just usually don't get hit :-)
